Chapter 146: The Man from the North

The soldiers escorted the beast captives to Wang Jiyuan, most of them were slightly injured, and their expressions were full of fear and pleading when they looked at Wang Jiyuan. Whether it was Master Gabriel's shot or the volley of the mounted spear, for these orc warriors who were not very strong, it exceeded their understanding of war and completely destroyed their self-confidence.

Master Gabriel warned, "Captain Wang, these beasts are the most loyal warriors in the Empire. He has always been the hardest part of the Empire's armies. There have been many cases of surrender followed by another mutiny, or simply surrendering to us and then taking the opportunity to wreak havoc in our prisoner camps. I think it's the cleanest to kill. ”

"From the eyes of these people, do you see that kind of unruliness?" asked Wang Jiyuan. He jumped off his horse and walked over to a beast warrior to check the gunshot wound on his arm, whose body trembled when Wang Jiyuan's fingers touched his arm, obviously terrified.

Wang Jiyuan summoned a hygienist, took a piece of gauze and helped the beast warrior wrap the wound, and the warrior behaved as if he was being tortured during the whole process, trembling all the time.

"Heh, this guy doesn't seem to appreciate much. Gabriel said.

"At least the people of the empire haven't done it, have they?" Wang Jiyuan finally tied the gauze tightly, at this time, although the beast warrior still looked very confused and afraid, but he nodded slightly, I don't know if he was expressing his gratitude, "As far as I know, these warriors are discriminated against in the empire, and the so-called loyalty and rigidity are just their desire to prove their worth in front of the rulers of the empire." This kind of person's psychological defense line is actually the most fragile. I believe that as long as they understand that all the suffering actually comes from the fact that the empire does not treat them as human beings at all, and we will treat them as real people, they will no longer think about working for the empire. ”

"Hehe, the grievance meeting is not a joke. Chang Yujie said.

Wang Jiyuan asked the hygienist to bandage the remaining wounded soldiers, and then returned to his horse and said, "We don't have enough manpower, so how can we not absorb the enemy's strength?"

The party took the captives and continued on their way to Barya, and when they came to the gate of Barya, they saw a group slowly approaching from the north.

At first glance, this team is a typical fleeing team, about two or three hundred people, men, women and children, but most of them are young and middle-aged. On the periphery of their procession were men with hoes, sickles, and sticks, followed by women with sticks and kitchen knives, and in the middle were old men and children. There were also wounded people lying on slow-moving ox carts. The men were covered in dust and looked very tired, but their staggering steps did not seem to keep up with their anxious mood.

Walking outside the city, the team stopped, apparently observing the city and Wang Jiyuan's army.

Wang Jiyuan's heart moved, refused the request to be accompanied by the guards, and stepped forward alone.

The men buzzed at the sight of his image, which slowly turned into arguments, and finally all fell silent.

A strong middle-aged man came out of the front of the team, he carefully walked up to them, looked up at Wang Jiyuan for a few minutes, and saluted and asked, "My lord, are you Chinese?"

"Yes. Wang Jiyuan got off his horse.

The team behind the middle-aged man erupted in cheers, and many people even cried with joy.

Wang Jiyuan looked at these people calmly, and when they finally calmed down again, he asked, "Then who are you?"

The middle-aged man bowed again and said, "My lord, my name is Bernard, and I am a blacksmith in the town of Chilkot in the north of here. A few days ago, the Imperial people actually defeated the Black Wood Pass, and then they came to our town to rob and kill people, we were already completely desperate, who knew that at this time there were three people, their strength was much stronger than the Imperial people, and they actually relied on the three of them to defeat the entire Imperial detachment, saving many of us and our property, but in this way, our town could not stay. The Imperials will surely send people to find those they have slain. The three men later showed us a way to leave the formation and go all the way south to Suero to join the Chinese.

He told us that some of the Chinese are black-haired and black-eyed, and as long as you see such people in the team, that's right. Everyone just saw what you look like, so ...... Somewhat excited. ”

Wang Jiyuan said: "Do you know the names of those three people?"

"Xiao Chen. Bernard's pronunciation is not standard, but Wang Jiyuan still understood, "He is black hair and black eyes like you, I think he must be Chinese himself."

Can you really take us in and feed us?"

"Of course, my companion did not lie to you. As long as you follow the rules and are willing to work, we will be able to protect you. ”

The crowd erupted in cheers again, and these people had been suppressed for too long. Once encountering an occasion where they could shout loudly, a few people even shouted hysterically, and more people recalled their grievances, they had to leave their hometown, had to say goodbye to a comfortable life, and many people finally cried under the infection of this atmosphere.

"I'm sorry adults, but they can't control themselves. ”

"It's okay, I know what it's like when a person needs to vent. Wang Jiyuan said: "But all the way over, have you heard from the people of the empire, or have you met people from other villages?"

"Yes. Along the way, we passed through several villages that had been completely destroyed by the Empire, and there were some lucky people who did not lose their lives, so we would take them with us.

As for the Imperials, we've only met three or four scout squads, and they just gave us a while and left. If we really encountered a large group of people, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to come here and stand in this place. ”

"Well, then, rest your footing in Barria, and then I will arrange for men to escort you to Suero. Rest assured, the people you met didn't lie to you. Now if we want to find a safe place in the kingdom, it may be on our side. Wang Jiyuan instructed, "But I hope that among you you can find a few people who can explain the situation clearly, and I want to ask you about what happened at that time." ”
